Therefore the identical MIDI data may sound a lot different when first played back in RB. You must set the Mixer parameters of Vol and Pan inside RB, and also Reverb if wishing to use the same MIDI Reverb as BB would use on the track rather automatically.

It has been my experience that I can generally make a BB MIDI track sound better in RB after tweaking the settings and RB is also where I investigate use of bigger and better MIDI synths on those tracks as well, where we can get some pretty awesome sounds that way. I find it a bit easier to invoke and use multiple MIDI synth sources inside RB.

That's what I thought too.... the piano track playing in BB had some cool little embellishments in it so I figured I would export the midi to a file, which I did. I imported it to Sonar and loaded up a nice grand piano sample and played it.

Sonically speaking, it was superb.... however, the notes were a simple basic humdrum midi track.... no embellishments. I tried several ways and nothing was successful in getting the track out of BB with the cool little things in it.

This was several years ago.
